Showers of blessings

Read this story, and
Follow the recommendation at
The end...

As I was walking
Down life's highway
Many years ago

I came upon a
Sign that read

Heavens Grocery Store..

When I got a
Little closer

The doors swung
Open wide

And when I came
To myself

I was standing
Inside..

I saw a host of
Angels.

They were
Standing everywhere

One handed me a
Basket

And said 'My
Child shop with care..'

Everything a
Human needed
Was in that
Grocery store

And what you
Could not carry
You could come
Back for more

First I got some
Patience.

Love was in that
Same row.

Further down was
Understanding,
You need that
Everywhere you go..

I got a box or
Two of Wisdom
And Faith a bag
Or two.

And Charity of
Course
I would need some
Of that too..

I couldn't miss
The Holy Ghost
It was all over
The place.

And then some
Strength
And Courage to
Help me run this race.

My basket was
Getting full
But I remembered
I needed Grace,

And then I chose
Salvation for
Salvation was for
Free

I tried to get
Enough of that to do
For you and me..

Then I started to
The counter
To pay my grocery
Bill,

For I thought I
Had everything
To do the Masters
Will.

As I went up the
Aisle
I saw Prayer and
Put that in,

For I knew when I
Stepped outside
I would run into
Sin.

Peace and Joy
Were plentiful,
The last things
On the shelf.

Song and Praise
Were hanging near
So I just helped
Myself.

Then I said to
The angel

'Now how much do
I owe?'

He smiled and
Said

'Just take them
Everywhere you go.'

Again I asked
'Really now,

How much do I
Owe?'

'My child' he
Said, 'God paid your bill
A long long time
Ago.'

This poem has
Been sent to you
With love and for
Blessings.

It originated in
The Netherlands
And has been
Around the world 9 times.

The blessing has now
Come to you and
You will receive
Showers of blessings!

Thank you Captain Kirk!

You are welcome Ray, A friend sends me these things all the time. I'll start posting more of them.

"Showers of Blessings" reminded me of my wife telling about her childhood. They lived in the country and attended a small country church. In the summer time they would have two weeks of nightly meetings. It was a very dry, no rain summer and this one night they sang "Showers of Blessings". It rained so hard going home on the dirt roads they slipped and slid down the big hill to their house in their old Model T Ford. But she said "everyone was happy, and it made a true believer out of me!". She was baptized in a pond on a neigbor's farm, when 11 or 12 years old.

Hello Ray!! Enjoyed those books. Have even shared them. My middle boy is a very avid reader and he even picked up one of them. He thought it was rather "cool" than an aurthor signed a book to "me". Thanks again Ray. :)
